PHEASANT RECIPES
While we are at the start of the season a the perfect roast pheasant is hard to beat. If you’re a keen outdoor cook (we do know people who leap at the chance of a barbecue, whatever the weather) then spatchcocked pheasant with lemon and herbs might fit the bill. You can of course cook it inside too.
For those who have tried to cook pheasant breasts but find them dry, perhaps it’s time to get a little ‘Heston’. Mike Robinson’s secret to the perfect pheasant breast is revealed in the best way to cook pheasant breasts.
Choosing which best pheasant recipe to use will depend on the bird you bag. You will also be able to tell by looking if your bird is young or old, a cock or a hen. If you are more familiar with a pheasant from your game dealer, ask him.
And if it comes from the supermarket you will have to take your chances. A good game dealer or butcher should be able to tell you everything you need to know about the bird.
So take your pick of these best pheasant recipes and put your bag to use.
